Join Kelly Knight, forensic scientist and George Mason University Professor, to expose students to The Real CSI - Forensic Science.  Tune-in to learn how K-12 educators can create their own mock crime scene in the classroom to demonstrate forensic science. Professor Knight will show teachers how to make this interactive activity appropriate for both younger elementary-level students and scale it up for students in middle and high school. This activity can be used by teachers either virtually or in the classroom, and utilizes easy-to-find materials most of us have around the house.
